I mentioned this on the main project discussion, but I'll restate here with further comments: Gospel music needs inclusion as a category. For that matter, R&B and urban, classical, jazz, country, and electronic should also be considered. For publications like Cross Rhythms and Christianity Today which deal with every style, a simple "all" should suffice.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 16:30, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
I think we should include this source: Wade-O Radio It is the home site for DJ Wade-O's internet radio programs.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 12:17, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
Why under self-published? He has a full staff.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 00:32, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
I think a good idea here would be, if there were a consensus for it, to expand to include which singles charts are acceptable. CCM is rather unique in that it has had three major singles charts over a relatively short timespan, meaning it might be confusing to some editors. I propose including the following, with disclaimers:
It might be worth it to note which members own the Hot Hits books, so users can find the information quicker; I own the Adult Contemporary charts book, but not the CHR book. Toa Nidhiki05 00:17, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Very nice work - feel free to add those to the article.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 00:39, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
This is most certainly reliable because of its contributors are some of the best in the business. HotHat ( talk) 02:06, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
I propose the name to be changed to Wikipedia:WikiProject Christian music/Music charting and review sources. What do you all think about that? HotHat ( talk) 02:15, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
An older version of this page included research for many of the sources listed. If anyone wishes to view this research, they can do so here.-- ¿3fam ily6 contribs 19:19, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
CMNexus is a great resource - you can search an artist and find print and online reviews for their albums, as well as won awards and news articles. Where should this go on this page? Toa Nidhiki05 13:38, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi, there! I am in the process of revising all the early album entries for the Choir, adding relevant information with reliable sources and doing basic formatting and cleanup. I've gotten as far as Diamonds and Rain and am currently working on completely revamping Chase the Kangaroo. However, in adding reviews to the band's later works, I've discovered that writer Brian Q. Newcomb, who founded Harvest Rock Syndicate and has written for other Christian music publications for decades, is a contributor to the music site The Fire Note. I recommend that be considered a reliable source for reviews, as he has long-standing credentials in Christian music journalism. TARDIS ( talk) 18:29, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
